Polly - I'm not hugely keen on Liver but do have kidney a lot.
Not exactly sure what you mean about liver not having a symbol against it. The symbols just indicate things like Speed foods, Really Nutricious, Fbre and Calcium in my old book. So if it doesn't have a symbol by it, it just means it isn't one of these things.
THE WHOLE POINT OF SW IS THAT NOTHING IS BANNED - so you can cook your food as you like.
That's what syns are for (cue for a song here methinks).
Syns can be used in the cooking process - you don't have to add them as "extras" if you don't feel hungry.
Although a lot of people save their syns for treats like crisps or wine - I fall into the latter category!! :8855:
If you dip the liver in flour and slowly and carefully fry in less oil (1 tbsp will be plenty if you are really careful) then go for it !!!!
Flour and oil will use up some of your syns that you say you are having problems using.
Flour is 4 syns per 25g (just over a level tablespoon and probably more than you will use) and olive oil is 6 syns per tablespoon.
So there's 10 of your syns gone for today!
But in actual fact you probably won't actually eat all that oil anyway as there will be some left in the pan, and you probably won't need the whole tablespoon of flour if you dip it carefully
Deffo steer clear of the sausages though - they are high in syns - but you could have it with bacon with all fat removed.
And it you put it in onion gravy, a teaspoon of Bisto = 1 syn, and a tablespoonful = 3 syns.
Pour any excess oil away before you start to make the gravy though and save yourself some syns.
But going back to sausages - you can have these if you want you know. Again they just use up syns.
Cumberland sausages are my favourite - try and find the reduced fat ones in the supermarket and they are just 1 syn each
Great for the occasional treat. If you don't like the low fat ones (I don't) then here are the syns for all varieties.
So 3 thick sausages in onion gravy would use your syns for the day! How good is that?

Never had scan bran having never been to class
People either love 'em or hate 'em though. I think I'd probably be in the hate category.
But loads of people make them into various "cakes".
